Here is my modification to be able to fit into the car.......without the seat there is a lot of room. For those wondering the red lines show how much room I gain without the seat.

You drive the car with no seat at all? How big are you?  |

6' 5" and around 275lbs. I knew going into cobra ownership I would have to make some mods to be able to fit, but it turned out to be a very easy fix. I do have a comp seat I am going to modify with thin foam so it "looks" better, but as it is the car is very roomy and comfortable once I am inside!

No argument, I'm a lover not a fighter! Then again...after 18 or 20 beers and a half dozen shots of Jack I tend to get pretty indestructible.......

I meant that he is driving his car around sitting on just a yoga mat for support. Gives new meaning to the raw experience of driving a cobra. Now autocrossing sitting on a yoga mat might be a whole nother level.

In all honesty Doug, driving the car is not anywhere as "raw" as I thought it would be. Then again I grew up hot rodding old pick ups with straight front axles and leaf springs...compared to those the cobra is quite refined.

I think you're the most dedicated cobra owner I've ever heard of ! 
How about using a bean bag chair ?
You remind me of the actor Richard Kiel, aka Jaws in the Jams Bond movies, when he yanks,.... out the car seat so he could fit in the car !
What's your plans for seat belts ?
All the power to you buddy.

My bad patrickt...I read your post as "I could run him through"...more coffee needed!
